last (hopefully) chapter in my prostate saga

*cue stentorian announcer voice* Last time, steve2470 was referred to a urologist to rule out prostate cancer. Let's see what happened..... voice trails off

ok, in all seriousness now

1- The urologist said my prostate was "tiny for your age" (his exact words), so no enlargement
2- He said, given his expert fingers, he could detect nothing at all
3- He was very impressed with my 0.6 PSA test
4- He knows about my ultrasound coming back negative
5- I made sure he knew that my PCP was concerned about possible nodularity
6- He looked at me and said "you look disappointed" (because he wasn't going to order a needle biopsy)
7- He wants to see me back in 6 months and for me to do another PSA a week before I come in.

So, there you have it. This urologist was the #1 choice of my PCP. Color me a bit shocked but also pleased.

Hopefully you other guys have equal luck to me!
